Has it been 25 years since we bought that first pair of Nike Air Force 1s already? Time flies when you’re running game on the basketball courts. To celebrate the quarter century anniversary of the classic shoe, Nike commissioned all-star hip-hoppers Kanye West, Nas, and KRS-One to create an original tune, just long enough to lace up your sneaks. Check the stream, along with a DJ Premiere remix featuring Rakim.

Kanye, Nas & KRS-One – “Better Than I’ve Ever Been” (Real | ASX)

Add that to the awesome (if head-scratching) Original Run mixes by LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock. Nike’s running game, son.

Both versions of “Better Than I’ve Ever Been” will be available on iTunes 2/20.

    Nas liftin’ em up by the bootstraps. Top 2 MC ever. Truth.

  3. Even KRS is joining this commercial bandwagon and hyping product? And joining hands with Kanye? Say it isn’t so, KRS.
